| Jun 24, 2010 at 15:21 | comment | added | Ben Wieland | That's correct, but it turns out that the answer depends not on the orientation of the curve, but on the orientation of the surface. In particular, "the right side" doesn't make sense unless the surface is also oriented. And it turns out that the isotopy class of the diffeomorphism doesn't depend on the orientation of the curve. This is discussed in the primer Sam Nead linked to. | |
